I’m sure that if they could go back in time, they’d still vote for that man over a woman.
I'm sure the Latin community are still having the day they voted for.

Delirious electors who chose a demented president are brought back to reality
"¡Nunca pensé que los leopardos se comerían MI cara!"
My Spanish is near non-existent but I was still able to read this perfectly.
I still don't get it, why would you, as a Latino, support trump? What the hell were you expecting to happen?
You're that meme of sheep looking at a sign of a wolf saying "I'm going to eat you" and go "I like him, he says it how it is!"
Idiots
Now calm down, Ned-dily-diddly-diddly-diddly... they did their best, shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly... gotta be nice, hostily-iddly-diddly-iddly...Ah hell diddly-ding-dong-crap! Can't you morons do anything right?
this is absolutely a leopards ate my face moment but let’s not forget that Latine people are not trump’s base. lots of people make it seem like he won because Latine people voted for him when that’s just not the case.
his base is, remains and always has been white racists.
Who could have predicted the man who opened his first presidential run by calling latino immigrants rapists would do this? /s
I’m just so entirely unsympathetic to absolutely any minority who voted for the overt racist. Like, genuinely, holy fuck, you are genuinely not allowed to be surprised by his racism. It is now, and always was, one of his primary features.
And I have a special tier of bafflement towards the handful of Arab-American communities in the upper Midwest that apparently voted for him, and are now shocked that his policies are way worse than the absolutely horrible and myopic policies of Biden. Genuinely: How in the ever loving fuck are you surprised by that? He tried to ban any non-Saudi Muslims from coming into the country in his first term. How are you possibly surprised. HOW.
I remember some footage of a Latino Trump supporter giving a black woman shit in Trump's name, and wondering what the ever loving fuck. A variation on Hitler's rise to power is how many figurative Jews threw their full support behind him this time. I don't get it. I'll never get it. I'm sick of his stupid fucking face.

But the leopard promised so many great things. I mean, sure, the leopard DID say outright that he would eat my face, but I thought surely he'd never eat MY face.

¡Los leopardos han venido por nosotros!
No shit. Like, come on. They’re white supremacists, they aren’t even quiet about that anymore, and we already had Trump run 1, we already saw what fucking happens, how the fuck people didn’t think it would be part 2, and worse than before, is beyond me
“Today, I feel the same way I felt in Venezuela— that they're going to come take me somewhere I won't be able to escape from.” “This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”
This is what wilful stupidity gets you.
Don't even pretend that no one warned you.
they fell for that authoritarianism is inherent and exclusive to communism. corporate authoritarianism tricked them into thinking it was their only protection from authoritarianism
Fucking morons.
Any Latino who voted for trump deserves what’s coming to them. We tried to warn you all.
deserves what’s coming to them
I assume it's at least some level of hyperbole, but nobody deserves the concentration camp.

Well, well, well .... LOL.
You can say a lot of things about Trump but you can't say he betrayed anyone about his intentions on immigration. Whoever feels betrayed by that simply wanted to be betrayed.
“This is completely different from what I thought it was going to be.”
Huh. This is exactly what I thought it was going to be.
Oh Mr. Trump, i wanted you to hurt OTHER people, not meeeeeeeee
my god, it keeps getting harder and harder to caricature Trump supporters

He’s literally just doing what he said he would do. Did they not believe him, or were they too busy watching fake news to bother listening to what he said? I have no sympathy for the ones who voted for him, but unfortunately this affects the majority who didn’t.
He tells it like it is.
Also, he didn’t mean what he said.
My people, if you believed them I hope you get deported.
You voted to have families torn apart, fuckin traitors. You will never have my respect and I hope you hide in shame.
